Would you apologize?
The first week of Jan, I came in after hours and saw that some kid finger painted (with yogurt) on her desk. Hand prints were too small to be my son, so I figured it was one of my boss's kid's. I was still gonna clean it (so no bugs would attack her desk over the weekend), but got absorbed in my work and forgot to loop…

Warrior Dash Photos?
For those of you who've done a Warrior Dash, do you know if they provide photo support? Or did you just have friends take photos for you? I didn't find photo info on the website. Thanks, Janie

Dating Bloopers?
Ok, since I've talked enough about mistakes guys made when dating...so let me share one of my bloopers: A guy I really liked asked me on a third date, but I had my son's sports in the morning and 2 hours later a "feed the homeless" thing with my church followed by a fellowship I was helping to host. Only about 2 hours…

eHarmony?
In a couple other threads, I've read that people aren't happy with eHarmony. I'd like to know some specific reasons why, as my friend who wants to go online is thinking about eHarmony instead of the others... she's convinced that's the best dating site to use in order to find someone to marry (rather than just a…

Fake Birthday Online?
I noticed my profile listed me a year older, and it took me few minutes to remember that my fake "online" birthday I always use was last week. Does anyone else use a standard fake birthday, standard fake picture, or anything like that online?

Long convo w/my ex
Just spent a couple hours talking to my ex. I feel bad for him, but also vindicated. His hot, young, college model "fiance" was only using him to pay her bills, milking money out of him for "medical costs" and then spending it on things like a flat screen tv, and had moved her true boyfriend into my ex's apartment while he…

Earned my mommy badge today
Joined my son for lunch today. His “Best-Friend” joined us at the special “parents” table. At the direction of his mom, the boys are no longer allowed to play together (the two of them together = massive destruction). This is the woman who called my son an idiot. They were thrilled to sit together and Peanut immediately…

When your landlord wants to talk...
...it's usually not a good thing. Turns out she's selling the house to a guy who owns several rental properties. As a former Realtor, I cringed with each new fact she offered about the new guy. He sounds like your standard investor who is getting the house from her at a discount and will cut as many corners with me that…

Reject the Drink, not the Man
Piggybacking off the "Number" thread... I've never had a man send me a drink...usually they come up to me and ask if they can buy me something. One time, a bartender told me, "that man would like to buy you a drink, what will you have." I was newly single and quite flattered! I told the bartender, "I don't drink, so…

Poll: YES or NO? Saying "Great Job!" On Your Diary
How do you feel about people congratulating others for coming under calories or losing weight even if they don't have time to read the food/exercise diary to see if they're doing it a healthy way? There's been a couple posts about encouraging people's unhealthy eating habits and how a lot of us (yep, me too!) are…

Just posted this on the topic "How soon do you give your number out? Online... " and thought it would be fun to tell our facebook horror stories as related to dating. I've got QUITE a few of them, but here's just one to test the waters: The very very first guy I was gonna meet from an online dating site had just set up a…

Sexual Desire in Relationships
I've observed that for most men the sexual desire comes more from the visual (and a woman who isn't sexually appealing can't make herself so by treating him nicer). OTOH, for most ladies, it seems like sexual desire can be visual, but is more often generated by the way she's treated (so then a guy who, at first glance, may…

Men who earn less than their girlfriends?
From the Dating Multiple People Topic Men, does this bother you or your friends? Much of my marriage trouble began the year my earning outpaced my ex-husbands. It created a lot of stress. How do you feel when you discover your date makes more money than you? Or, ahem, how do your friends feel, lol, becasue the guys on this…

Guys Don't Believe Her
Ok gang... why is this? A single friend of mine in DC was venting to me about how she is tired of men not believing her when she says she doesn't want to have kids. She is 42, has never been married, and is about to roll from a high-travel military job into a high-travel civilian job. I've known her for years. She REALLY…

Men! What Ladies Do and How You Interpret it?
Spurred by the "face picture*" post in "Chit Chat," I'd really be happy if our guys would help us out a few things we do that might inadvertantly turn them off before we even have a chance to win their hearts. For example: When a woman writes "marriage" in her online dating profile, I've been told most guys interpret that…

For Every Person Who Wishes S/he Were In A Relationship...
There are 10 others who wish they were single! I'm not hating on relationships (I'd love to be in one, the right one, lol). Just wanted to encourage those of you who aren't quite happy at being single today.

Olive Garden Salad only 290 calories?
So I'm looking at Olive Garden nutrition (plannign to take a friend there tonight) and I see "1 serving" of salad is 290 calories, 20g of fat). That's pretty bad on the fat count, but I actually thought it would be worse. Unfortunately, I don't see what "1 serving" is... When I'm the only one who gets salad, they bring me…

When You Bump a Post... ?
I'm having trouble getting lost in topics that have many pages. I noticed that people "bump" a topic so they can come back to it later, however, when I try to go back to a post I've made it still puts me at the first page. How do you work the system to take it back to your last post? Thanks!

Poll: Is it Rude to Question the Waiter When Out To Lunch Wi
I was reminded of this while reading another post, and would like to know what y'all think: A couple years ago, I was out to lunch with coworkers and it was time to order. I asked how the chicken was cooked, to make sure it wasn't fried, and when it came time for the salad, asked the waiter what the dressings were. He…

Who's tired of the Online Dating Topics??

Is "no response" actually a response?
Piggy-backing from the "break up via text" thread... A guy friend once told me that when a guy stops contacting you, that IS his way of saying he's no longer interested. You know he's interested when he keeps calling/texting/emailing/asking you out. If he doesn't respond to you, that's a very clear message (he's not into…

Honesty in Relationships
Just came back from a fabulous evening with my #1 guy friend. He's been seeing someone for almost 2 years now, and we did our usual "tell me if I'm being a jerk to her" thing with some of their recent developments. Then he did his big-brother review of the guys I'm getting to know. At one point he mentioned how nice it was…

MFP and Airport Food
Today while traveling, I avoided my standard airport fare (Starbucks, Panda Express, Pappadeaux) because I just didn't want to have to log into MFP and write those calorie totals. The accountability of logging all of this really helps. But I would love some suggestions for eating healthy, yet not feeling deprived, while in…
